Spiders and scorpions do not use the same method to catch prey. Scorpions often kill prey with venom, using the stinger at the end of their tail. However, they first grab the prey with their claws. They then raise their tail over their heads and sting the prey. Spiders, however, either spin webs to entrap their prey, ambush or hunt for their prey using venom to subdue them, or wait for their prey until it approaches them, killing them with a suprise attack.

Are wind scorpions or sun spiders or camel spiders deadly?

No, and incase you're wondering, all the names you mentioned above refer to the same arachnid, the Solifugae. These are not spiders, but the two share many similar features such as eight legs, obvious fangs, and two separated body parts. The Solifugae is not venomous, nor can its bite be lethal. You should not handle Solifugae however, because their bite is said to be very painful.


Why did scorpions develop claws and spiders develop pedipalps?

Evolution does not work by things deciding to evolve into one direction or another. Instead, nature keeps spinning off random changes. Some random changes are so bad that the new baby whatever it was died before its life even really got started. Other random changes don't make any difference one way or the other. Once in a while something really works well for the new baby, so it grows up to have lots of children, the children have that strong point, and off they go. Claws are good for reaching out and pinching things to kill them, but they are not good for manipulating food, for handling silk, etc. Pedipalps are good for helping spiders lay their silk, handle their food and other things, signalling to other spiders, etc., but not any use at all for pinching things to injure or kill them. So whatever the steps in the middle were, one trail ended up in grabbing and puncturing, and one trail ended up in gently manipulating things.

I want to be a vet assistant but would you have to handle spiders as they are the only creature i dislike?

Usually vet assitants wont have to handle those kid of things. Usualliy people don't have pet spiders and if they do they wouldn't come to the vet to help them i soppose there is very a little a vet or even vet assitant can do for such a tiny creature. SO my guess is no you most definatly will not have to handle spiders. <3 :) <3

What are spider appendages?

Spiders have spinnerets near the rear end of their bodies. They use these spinnerets to spin out their silk. They have eight legs, and each leg is terminated (depending on the species) by either three claws or two claws. Between the front two legs are two more, shorter, appendages called "pedipalps." These appendages are shorter than legs and are used for manipulating things such as their prey, things they want to eliminate from their webs and living areas, and (in males) they are terminated by a kind of biological syringe that they load up with semen and then inject into the sexual organ of the female during mating. Finally, there are the two chelicerae have a basal part that you can see when you look a resting spider directly in the face, and each of them has a fang that has its point held near the mouth of the spider and that folds into the chelicera like the blade of a jackknife folds into its handle. Unlike insects, spiders do not have antennae. They do not have wings. They do not have three body parts either, just the abdomen and the "cephalothorax" (head plus chest) where the legs, pedipalps, chelicerae, eyes, etc. are located.

What are the typical traits of crustaceans?

All crustaceans have:Two pairs of antennae at some stage in their life cycle.The body is divided into three parts, a head, thorax and abdomen.There may be between sixteen and sixty body segments. Although the segments look like rings, the outer shell is continuous. The hard tube-like parts are hardened by deposits of calcium and protein. At the joints the shell is thin and flexible, so that the body may bend.The Head carries pairs of appendages, usually the antennae, used for sensing its environment and for feeding. The head also carries three pair of appendages that are modified into mouthparts.Most crustaceans have a carapace, or shell, which folds outwards from the upper surface of the body and covers all or part of the thorax.The thorax and abdomen have pairs of appendages used for movement such as walking, swimming, climbing. In some cases these appendages are used for respiration and mating.In advanced crustaceans, such as the prawns, lobsters and crabs, three pair of thoracic appendages help the head mouthparts to handle food.

Can you put two songs together without having special software?

Yes. Have two people sing at once. This depends on how 'special' the software spoken of is. If speaking of a file on a computer, most video capture programs can capture all sounds on a computer. It would require having multiple devices to route sounds, or a device which can handle multiple sources of sound.


What does it mean when your child dreams of spiders in his bed 2-3 times a week?

Aside from saying that plenty of children have dreams about scary things, these spiders in the bed might represent problems your child is having that he does not know how to handle. The anxiety comes out in his dreams. ... A completely different possibility might be that there is something in the child's pajamas or bed linens that is irritating his skin enough to trigger dreams of little itchy spiders. It could be a new plush toy, or something as obscure as laundry soap or fabric softener, or it could be related (sorry!) to the current bedbug problem that is plaguing the U.S.
